Researchers Obtain Nanometer Resolved Image of Individual Tobacco Mosaic Virions

Knowing the detailed shape of biomolecules such as proteins is essential for biological studies and drug discovery. Modern structural biology relies on techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy to discover the tiny structural details of biomolecules. All these methods, however, require averaging over a large number of molecules and thus structural details of an individual biomolecule are often lost.

Researchers Visualize Nano-Sized Gateways That Control Activity of Mitochondrial Battery

Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of our cells, because they generate chemical energy similar to that obtained from a battery. Whether it's a brain, muscle or plant cell, nano-sized gateways control the activity of the mitochondrial battery, by carefully allowing certain proteins and other molecules to enter into our mitochondria. Some of these proteins are large and complex molecules, yet they are essentially "spirited" into from the cytoplasm into the mitochondria, while the mitochondrial membrane remains water-tight and intact. How this happens has confounded science for decades.

Study on Porous Polymers Demonstrates How Chemistry Plays Key Role in Materials Science

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of porous polymers that enable the atomically precise incorporation of organic units into periodic structures, creating highly ordered ð-columnar arrays and one-dimensional open channels. One significant structural feature is that they can be predesigned at both primary and high-order structure levels. COFs have emerged as a platform for materials design and functional explorations. However, their low stability has been impeded any practical implementations.
